TR, it sure is.
It's a nice little trap gun, fun and cheap to shoot.

Heres a Western that a very dear friend gifted me, it has a special place of honor among my collection.

Great picture of a good looking knife, Johnny. Here's a Western 657. Behind it is a Camillus 165, their version of a medium stockman. The Camillus is a little huskier build than the Western, but they are very similar knives.

Here are my few Western States knives. The first one is a gunstock whittler in a green swirl celluloid. The other one is a stockman with a faded candy cane stripe celluloid handle. The little miniature's are all Western States. They are shown is The Knifemakers that went west book.

All very nice knives, but I am crazy about those miniatures! Thanks for sharing!

"Buy more ammo!" - Johnnie Fain

I have to agree about the quality of the steel in those old Western knives...been cleaning squirrels, rabbits, quail, etc, etc since my grandad first put a gun in my hands back when I was 5 years old back in 1956 and if i could shoot supper I also had to clean supper . The only knife blade that I think holds and edge as long as the old Westerns is the old Bucks. dont know much about the modern Bucks. Thanks for showin, guys!

Great knives, all! Here are a couple more. Deer headbone handles. Boulder. The bottom is a contract for Ward Master Quality. Notice the bakelite pommel. The blades are mirror bright. This is how my scanner renders that situation.
